What is drug of choice for ischaemic heart disease
ischaemic heart disease is accompanied with low oxygen suply.
Answer:Oxygen is the #1 drug of choice for Ischemic heart disease. Drugs such as adrenaline can increase heart rate and strength of contractions, although also promote tachyarrhythmias
Nitrates are the mainstay of treatment. There are many forms of nitrates, and
rapid-acting ones are the DOC for acute anginal attacks. Oral nitrates may be
used for prophylaxis, as may the nitroglycerine patch. Whenever nitrates are
used, it is important to have a nitrate-free interval (12 hours) so that tolerance
does not develop to this class of drugs. Adverse reactions common to nitrates
include hypotension, headaches, flushing, and nausea. Agents and time to onset
follow:
Drug Time to onset (min)
Nitroglycerine
IV 1-2
Sublingual 1-3
Spray 1-3
Buccal 2-5
PO 30-40
Ointment 20-60
Patch 40-60

Easy question. ACE-Inhibitors and Beta Blockers. They prevents cardiac remodeling after an MI. Helps to keep it from progressing to CHF.
"Ischemic (or ischaemic) heart disease" means that some part of your heart is not getting adequate blood supply. This causes the low oxygen supply. This can happen as a result of coronary artery disease or a heart attack--there may be other causes, too, that this guesser doesn't know about. In many cases the heart takes care of itself by growing new blood vessels, or collateral vessels, to bypass the problem area and provide the blood the deprived part of the heart needs. In the meantime, medical treatment of the underlying cause should be initiated as appropriate. For CAD, a statin drug like Lipitor or Pravacol is appropriate along with aspirin, exercise and dietary changes. If a mild heart attack is the culprit (and I say "mild" because if it were anything but mild you wouldn't be asking about drugs, you'd have been operated on already!), the above plus something like Plavix might be in order.
